Under the new law, taxpayers must retain a receipt, canceled check, or credit card statement to prove their donation. No tax deduction will be allowed if the taxpayer cannot provide any supporting documentation in the event of an IRS audit. The new law requires that donated items, such as cars, clothing, and household goods, must be in good condition and no tax deduction is allowed for items in less than good condition. Additional provisions require that nonprofits with annual gross receipts of $25,000 or less file information returns with the IRS and that nonprofits must publicly disclose their unrelated business income. The Pension Protection Act allows taxpayers for the first time to donate money to nonprofits directly from their IRA account. These distributions will be tax-free, avoid the penalty on early withdrawals, and have an upper limit of $100,000 per year. Since the distribution will not be included in taxable income, individuals will not be able to claim a tax deduction for the charitable contribution. The Act includes many other details related to specific types of nonprofits and donations. For complete summary: Joint Committee on Taxation (http://www.house.gov/jct/).
